Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - cjs - 12-09-2010 What's on the menu for today for everyone? this was my little goodie for the day yesterday... Vicki's Hawaiian Mermaid Martini We're meeting #2 son and wife tonight for dinner at an Italian place in Sacto, so will be having a great time. He's the one who does Battle Bots - has anyone ever seen them? What a hoot. I'll try to find a link about them. Here's a link to "Team Plumb Crazy" - These 'fights' are so fun to watch and Matt & Wendy are really good at it- http://www.tpcbots.com/indextpc_001.htm Re: Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - VinceF - 12-09-2010 CJS, ok so how am I making Vicki's Hawiian Mermaid Martini... puhhleeeez? Oh yea, for dinner tonight is roasted cod veracruzana over black rice. Re: Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - Trixxee - 12-09-2010 Yum on the martini and the cod veracruzana! I'm making chicken topped with proscuitto and asiago cheese with a lemon caper sauce. Sauteed zucchini and baked potatoes on the side (yup, still working on that 10 pound bag). Re: Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - cjs - 12-09-2010 Here you go Vince and are they ever good! * Exported from MasterCook * Vicki's Mermaid Martini - Hawaii 2 oz. hypnotic 1 oz. blue Curacao 1 oz. vodka 1 oz. sugar water (I used 2 cups water + 3/4 cup sugar) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You don't want the sugar water too sweet, but I do like this ratio. Re: Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - VinceF - 12-09-2010 Trixxee, I got a new thing for a baked potato: Pre-heat oven to 425 Combine 2T olive oil, 2T butter, & 2 cloves garlic crushed, heat to combine flavors Set your potato on a cutting board, lengthwise, rounded side down. make 1/4in slices going the short way, but only go 3/4 way through the potato, it will open up like a fan during baking. Drizzle with half the oil/butter making sure you get a little between the leaves. Bake 45-55 minutes or until done. Drizzle with the remaining mixture and salt/pepper as desired. Enjoy!

Re: Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - cjs - 12-09-2010 Vince, I've done potatoes like that and I agree, they are delicious. and, you are welcome for the recipe. Re: Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - VinceF - 12-09-2010 I just found a video explaining the fanned potato but I don't peel it and all that other stuff Betty is doing.

Maybe pizza, or an omellette. Re: Thursday, 12/9 - What's for Dinner? - Mare749 - 12-09-2010 Thanks Vince, I'm going to have to try those potatoes. Haven't decided on dinner yet. Looking for inspiration...
